Last year’s UN IPCC report highlighted the urgent need to employ a range of measures to limit global warming, while meeting rising global energy demand. This could include the protection and restoration of natural ecosystems such as forests, grasslands and wetlands. Nature-based solutions aim to protect, transform or restore land allowing nature to absorb more CO2 emissions from the atmosphere. Between now and 2030, they could provide over a third of the climate mitigation needed to limit warming to below 2°C. Reaching that outcome is difficult, in part because the prospects for nature-based solutions are uncertain. Join the Center on Global Energy Policy and a panel of experts as we discuss the role of nature in tackling climate change. Panelists include: • Ruth DeFries, University Professor; Denning Family Professor of Sustainable Development in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology, Columbia University • Dirk Forrister, CEO & President of the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) • Michelle Manion, Lead Economist at the World Resources Institute • Todd Stevens, Executive Director, Conservation Science and Solutions at the Wildlife Conservation Society • Maarten Wetselaar, Director, Integrated Gas and New Energies at Royal Dutch Shell • Jason Bordoff, Founding Director, Center on Global Energy Policy (moderator) — Guests unable to attend in person can register to view a livestream of the event by accessing the registration link below.

Energy abundance isn't a climate strategy—it delays clean energy progress, harms global cooperation, and repeats past policy mistakes.
President Donald Trump has made energy a clear focus for his second term in the White House. Having campaigned on an “America First” platform that highlighted domestic fossil-fuel growth, the reversal of climate policies and clean energy incentives advanced by the Biden administration, and substantial tariffs on key US trading partners, he declared an “energy emergency” on his first day in office.
